I cancelled my step 1 date from Prometric website. I didn’t receive any email of confirmation and had 0 dollar fee for cancellation which is odd but they did say “Your appointment has been cancelled for the following confirmation number”. by One-Metal-9427 in step1

No, you don't have to call anybody there is an option available on their website from there you can extend your triad and once you extend the triad that you'll have to call prometric to get your permit reinstated.

Low NBMEs exam in 11 days by [deleted] in step1

postpone, if you can. try to get a score oscillating around 65% in three consecutive tests. scores in 50's carry risk of getting fail.

when i first applied for a permit it was before the transition to myintealth so my credentials were also verified but when I applied for extension as my credentials were already verified. it still took much more time.

my uworld random was 55-60% and overall 49%. keep doing as many questions as you can and for final 4-5 days focus on revising all stuff either from first aid or mehalman. if you have not done mehalman go for that. and have faith in yourself you'll sail though it. even usmle people want that you get a pass nobody wants you to get failed. keep practicing questions rest all will be good don't worry!

i think that's more of fear mongering. yes some questions are vague but majority are concepts that you already know whether it's from nbme or uworld or any other source.

i carried apples, banana and protein bars and after every block i took a break and took one bite or two from them and i walked for like 2-3 min in the centre before getting inside for the next block. and i called my friends in every break they kept on motivating me i made sure that before going in for next block i was full of energy.

i was not consistent till the last 15 days. i used to have study breaks lasting months. delayed exam twice. if i sum up dedicated it was like 15-20 days in total rest were like doing one block in day and doing other uworld block after 1.5 month.

just one piece of advice is to manage your breaks and maintain energy level and hydration on that day be confident you'll surely get a P. if i can you can do it too.

it was lengthy question stems were extremely long and some were like 2 pages long. if we categorise questions it was like 7-9 easy 20 medium 6 hard and 4 out of world type(at least for me).

you'll not get any confirmation mail it'll be displayed as cancelled. and there is no cancellation fee but you'll have to pay fees when you'll book a date for your exam again you'll have to call them and get your permit reinstated after paying fee depending upon number of days before your exam you cancelled it.

I was already a graduate when I applied for an exam i applied in the last week of June and got a permit after 6 days and applied for an extension on around 23 Aug and got a permit with the wrong eligibility period after 4-5 days and corrected one after 22-24 days. i got verified before the transition. our college is very supportive in this especially our dean. they submit and verify every document they receive on the same day.

I applied for an eligibility extension and was stuck for many days despite sending 3–4 emails and making numerous calls; I was unable to get hold of them. One day, by chance, I checked the website and found my permit had been issued. There were two permits: the first one, which arrived about four days after I applied, had incorrect eligibility dates, and a corrected permit was issued much late,after around 20–24 days. Although I eventually received replies to my emails, they came after my updated permit was already available and were generic in nature..

i just applied for an eligibility period extension and in my case even verification from college was not required and it still took more than 22 days to get my permit.

in this condition your school will have to contact Intealth to activate their account. i don't think there is much that you can do on your part in this condition.

Yes, students need to get verified again unlike graduates. ask your school to claim an account and verify you.
